Georges Clemenceau Quotes

Don't wait for something big to occur. Start where you are, with what you have, and that will always lead you into something greater.

Use the losses and failures of the past as a reason for action, not inaction.

The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.

You have to lift your head up out of the mud and just do it.

When you feel as though you can't do something, the simple antidote is action: Begin doing it. Start the process, even if it's just a simple step, and don't stop at the beginning.

If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.

You must take the first step. The first steps will take some effort, maybe pain. But after that, everything that has to be done is real-life movement.

The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.

If you don't like your situation in life, don't fret or worry--do something about it. Worry less, and act more.

First steps are always the hardest but until they are taken the notion of progress remains only a notion and not an achievement.

It takes guts to get out of the ruts.

The future starts today, not tomorrow.

Hold up a mirror and ask yourself what you are capable of doing, and what you really care about. Then take the initiative - don't wait for someone else to ask you to act.

Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands.

Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.

When you're in a situation, you can complain about it, you can feel sorry for yourself, you can do a lot of things. But how are you gonna make the situation better?

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

While others prayed for the good time coming, I worked for it.

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

The future requires action and not mere conversation.

The only person that ever stumbles is a guy moving forward. You don't stumble backwards; you stumble forward, and you never stumble when you're stationary. So don't worry about stumbling. Keep pushing it forward.
